C&O 59000 series 2 bay hoppers (ca 1914) - modeling

As the B&M got some in 1935, I was wondering if there were any models that were "really good" or even "close"?
I didn't find anything searching for "59000" in the messages area...
For the B&M info, see:

Thanks!

These are a bit of a nut: more-or-less standard 1905 Common Design cars, except they are a foot taller - 11' at the eaves versus 10. The F&C kit for the early B&O N-12 is the best starting point, although it is six inches shorter.
